I can't believe God will look kindly at the Westboro clowns

[Renew Deal]

The AZ shooting is beyond sad. Some lunatic tries to assassinate a congresswoman, then kills a 9 year old and three elderly people amongst others. One of those people jumped in front of his wife and was shot in the head. This is all so terrible and sad. But then the Westboro nuts decide to protest the 9 year olds funeral? This is completely over the line. I can't imagine the founding fathers ever envisioned such a thing when they wrote the Bill of Rights.

I just read that the head mouthpiece for WBC (the daughter) said that God sent the shooter and they are going to protest the funeral on behalf of God. I don't believe that God would ever support such inhumane cruelty. I doubt they even believe what they're saying. They are so far gone that they use God as an excuse for anything. Maybe God is an angry, vengeful, fire and brimstone type, but that's a bet I don't think they should place. If they are concerned about judgment, they should think of themselves too.

1. Unless they're right.

And they aren't going to protest because a couple radio stations gave them air time.

9. Disgusting. Negotiating with hatemongers.

10. Personally, I think their shit needs to get out in the marketplace.

People don't realize how utterly fucking crazy they are until they hear them talk. You can hear about them and think they might be kind of off but once you hear that nut bag go off on one of his rants, it all because very clear how far off the mainstream he is.

The marketplace of ideas is a great thing.

2. ever actually read the old testament?

if you believe in this particular deity then look out.

[Ozymanithrax]

3. Well, unless they are the only people who know God for what God really is.

I'm an agnostic. I don't see any evidence they their idea of God is any more right or wrong that anyone elses. If there is a God, maybe they got it right and everybody else is wrong. From everything I've read, there have always been people who believe God is a vengeful totalitarian spirit.

4. I believe that if there were a god he/she/it would have smote the shit outta that fuck long ago.

Alas, Phelps thrives.

5. That they're still operating is evidence of the non-existence of

supernatural entities such as deities in the first place.

6. I hope they all get sizzled with a lightning bolt.

If God hates anyone, it's this posse of freaks.

[Taverner]

7. Oh I dunno - after reading the Old Testament, they seem pretty spot on

God's an asshole - - so they, in turn, to be godly, must be assholes

8. God is a shit; the WBC is full of shits.

They're made for each other.

11. Doesn't Phreaky Phreddy speak for himself anymore?

Everything I've seen or heard recently is always through a spokeskook.

[Renew Deal]

13. His daughter has been his spokesperson for a while.

But I think he will speak if you get him in person.

12. Personally, if I saw them there, I would punch them in the face.

But maybe that's just me.

14. She won't.
